Problem with mangosd.exe - map files missing? - 3.3.5a

[Sylan]

I ran the extractor (ad.exe) multiple times, I re-compiled it twice, I did everything I could, my Datadir is set to "." and the folders "maps" and "dbc" are in the same directory as mangosd.exe and mangosd.conf. My mangos core revision is the lastest so far, it is updated to run in 3.3.5a.

Here's my server log:

My first thought was that the extractor was outdated since it didn't change from 3.3.3a.

I've been around this for hours and I'm getting tired...

Any ideas??

Appreciated...

PS: Just noticed this is the wrong section to post it, so I'm very sorry and if possible could a moderator move it to the correct section?

you have active Vmaps, so you must create them first (vmap_extractor_v3 and vmap_assembler)

I've disabled vmaps but its exactly the same thing. The error isn't related to vmaps but with the "maps" folder.

And I have the vmaps and buildings folders created.

Have you extracted the maps from your wow client with ad.exe?

Maybe you will read error message _one_ more_time_... Whare you see in message reference about wrong versions of map files and etc? ERROR: file NOT FOUND. Check that your .map files placed in proper dir....

I have extracted everything correctly. I believe the extractor is outdated compared to my core revision, which isn't my fault because I've used the extractor included with the mangos files.

And yes, the folders are in the correct directory...

[Schmoozerd]

then you should reset your system, that is: delete map files on server and wow dir

then reextract (look for errors!) and copy them if everything was working correctly.

I can only REPEAT: error not related in any form to .map version. It cleary say that any maps not found, jst as plain files. Nothing check in like case yet in map fiel itself and then totally not related what you sue for its generation.

check directory used mangosd for search map files. "./": meaning dir "." highly dependent from where you start mangosd and how start.

The directory is correct. I checked myself and there are missing some maps. I've been around this for hours, its getting frustrating.
